More on the Thought Police
An editorial in one of the national dailies caught my eye. The writer, a well known journalist and author has written a comprehensive critique of the march of the Thought Police in Britain today.
She echoes, in a much more public (the paper claims to have a daily circulation of over 3 million) a great deal of what has been said on this blog and on The Edge of England's Sword, All agitprop; all the time and one or two others. In summing up the loss of freedom of speech in this country, she identifies the fact that the police now seemingly routinely take the view that expressing a dislike for someone of a different social, cultural, racial or religious background is "stirring up hatred" of one sort or another. In effect, this is the result of cretins in Whitehall attempting to enforce their vision, born out of fear, of the perfect world.
Now it seems that the entire West are labelled by everyone on the left as "Victimising" and everyone in the Third or Developing World as "Victims".
So the supposed "victimisers" - thee and me - must be brought to heel so that Utopia can spring into being.
One man's vision of Heaven, is frequently another's vision of Hell.
Enterprise; One to beam up.

No problem Paul, your post also speaks for the wider problem.
